Liquid–liquid–solid equilibrium for the water + sodium chloride + potassium chloride + 1-butanol quaternary system at 25 °C

The methodology for the study of the liquid–liquid–solid equilibrium of quaternary systems including two inorganic salts, water and an organic solvent has been reviewed and applied to the water + sodium chloride + potassium chloride + 1-butanol quaternary system at 25 ºC. The different equilibrium regions have been systematically studied. The experimental equilibrium data have been used to check the accuracy of the predictions using the electrolyte NRTL model (MNRTL) and the parameters obtained by correlation of ternary systems. The results obtained with the model are satisfactory.The authors wish to thank the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (Spain) for the financial aid with of Project BQU2000-0212
